Run Away Puppy 3: The Final War Chapter Two: First Loves And Family Reunions

Mokuba was really excited about his starting middle school, in the whole two months he was there he'd made several friends and without any knowledge, his first love. Life really was going quite well. Especially since he had begun to study his brother and Joey, though there were some things he wished he hadn't seen or heard. The raven-haired Kaiba figured if he caught his brother and Joey in one of their more intimate moments he could get some pointers…but all he really got out of that were a few unwanted moans and the image of his brother open-mouth kissing the blonde. 'What is the point of using tongues anyway when you kiss?' Mokuba thought to himself. Well, right in the middle of a lesson wasn't really the time to ponder such questions; he would just ask Seto later. He jotted down some more notes on his paper then looked over to the blonde haired girl to his right. She caught sight of Mokuba and smiled warmly at him. The boy felt his heart melt. Was this how Seto felt when Joey smiled at him? Another question to ask his brother.

"Mr. Kaiba, I know Miss Nikki Kitase is favorable to you, but if you want to make it out of middle school I would pay attention young man, your brother would be disappointed in you." Ms. Mida Finch (1) annoyingly squawked. Mokuba rolled his violet eyes and knew now why Seto hated so many of his teachers. They were just so pushy and expected way more out of him than the rest of the class, just because he carried the Kaiba name. "Don't roll your eyes at me young man, your brother would hate it if he got a phone call from me." Knowing his elder brother very well and how he hated entertaining annoyed teachers Mokuba simply said, "Yes Ms. Finch, my brother would hate getting a call from you." The math teacher raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, "Is that sarcasm I detect Mr. Kaiba?" The raven-haired boy shook his head, "No, actually that's the gospel truth." (2)

"That is it young man, out into the hall. I will give your brother a call after I give the class their work." Mokuba stood up from his desk and exited out into the hallway. He stood against the brick wall for a good ten minutes before he and Ms. Finch made a special trip to the principal's office. Ms. Tetsuya Moya was sitting at her desk completing some paper work when the duo entered.

"Ms. Moya, my class clown is here to see you. I think a call home is in order." The math teacher suggested. "What is it that Mr. Kaiba has done?"

"He openly mocked me and disrupted the learning environment." She spoke with such abhorrence. Mokuba was really quite confused, he didn't disrupt anything; he was just minding his own business…gazing at Nikki, admiring her beauty from afar. He hadn't noticed the small grin growing across his lips. Did Joey make Seto feel all lovesick and unable to concentrate as well? Another question to ask a little later. Ms. Finch was the one whom disrupted the "environment". "Oh so now you find it amusing Mr. Kaiba? That is a day in detention."

"WHAT!" The boy exploded. Tears welled up in his eyes and he prayed that he could persuade Seto to take his side. He watched as the woman picked out his information folder then called his brother's work phone. This wasn't going to be pretty; Mokuba knew that his brother hated being disturbed at work. He slumped back down in the chair and just watched and waited.

"Hi Kimia, is Mr. Seto Kaiba in?" The woman listened to the other line. "Well, I would suggest you tell him to make time because this concerns his brother…Okay thank you."

Kimia pressed the inner com button on her phone and spoke, "Mr. Kaiba, you have a call from Domino Middle School, it's in regards to your brother." The brunette pinched the bridge of his nose; he hated teachers. "Thank you." He spoke before picking up his phone and answering. "This is Kaiba."

"Mr. Kaiba, how lovely of you to make time."

"Just get to the point, I'm very busy at the moment."

"Your mischievous little brother is quite the class clown, why don't you come on down here and we'll talk." Seto felt his the tips of his ears warm up, he was not in a particularly good mood, and Mokuba acting like a fool wasn't helping. "I'll be right down and tell Mokuba to prepare himself." He spoke before slamming the phone down on the receiver. The math teacher hung up the phone and smirked at the Kaiba.

"So, can he like, crawl and stuff now?" Vanessa asked as she watched the Kaiba baby kick his legs while lying on his stomach. Joey shook his head, "Nah, not yet. He can sit up on his own though. It'll be a couple more months before he's crawling. "I can't believe how big he's gotten in the last couple months. I remember the day you and Seto found out that you were pregnant. Quite a day that was, especially for that doctor." The blonde chuckled, "Yeah well, she turned out to be the only person Seto and I could trust with our baby. She's now our family doctor." The woman smiled, "Well I'm glad to hear that worked out well." Jouneth murmured to himself while he rolled over onto his back and began kicking his legs some more. He laughed happily when he spotted his mother. Joey smiled back at his son.

"So when do you and Seto plan to get married?" The amber-eyed teen took a minute to think and shrugged his shoulders, "In all actuality we haven't really discussed it yet. I, personally, would like to have it during the summer." Vanessa smiled softly, "Why summer?" The one question Joey had hopped he would be able to avoid. "Well…after I tell you this you're gonna think of me as a girl." The woman laughed lightly, "Oh come on, you went and carried a baby for nine months then gave birth to him, I don't look at you any less of the teenage boy than you are." The blonde smiled, "Well, after getting together with Seto I had always imagined us getting hitched on the beach, just me and him and our closet friends and relatives. I never really wanted a spectacular wedding, but after hooking up with him, I realized that the smaller the better. I had also always dreamed that as we said our vows the sun would be setting and as we took our first kiss as a married couple the sun would have gone down, leaving the sky in a beautiful array of colors." The dark-haired woman just sighed, how romantic. A small wedding on the beach. "Joey, you really are a woman deep down ain't ya?" The blonde shook his head and rolled his eyes, he was just as manly as his lover…he was just more…more…well whatever it was he was more of it than Seto was.

Mokuba sat in his chair in the office swinging his legs back and forth, clearly board and trying to figure out why he was really here in the first place. He hadn't really done anything wrong. Gazing at a girl wasn't against the law was it? Suddenly the sound of his brother's voice made his head swiftly perk up. He cringed when he saw the look on his elder sibling's face. "Mokuba Kaiba…" Seto said sternly. The boy trembled nervously. "Ahh, Mr. Kaiba there you are." Came Ms. Finch's voice from the doorway of the principal's office. "Shall we commence?" The young CEO pushed his way into the office and sat in one of the chairs before the principal's desk. Mokuba sat quietly beside him. The blonde math teacher closed the door behind her and started. "Mr. Kaiba, I would like to know what kind of manners you teach your younger sibling at home." The brunette felt offended and this only worsened his mood. "What, pray tell, is that supposed to mean?" He sneered sharply. "What I am asking is what kind of things does Mokuba get away with at home that he should be punished for? Does he pull pranks and disrupt your household?"

"Are you telling me that I am raising my brother wrong?"

"No of course not." The woman scorned. Seto raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms, "But you implied it."

"Alright! That is enough! Ms. Finch, for the last hour I have heard nothing but negative things come out of your mouth about this poor boy. I haven't even heard his side of the story and I think it's fair that he tell it, now that you've drug his very busy brother away from work." Principal Moya objected. Mokuba lifted his head and looked up at his searing brother. He quickly got to his side of the story, fearing that Seto might snap and cause mass murder. "Well, I won't lie…"

"That would be in your best interest." Seto spoke frighteningly calm. Mokuba swallowed hard and started again. "I was taking notes like Ms. Finch had asked of us and because I write fast and know how to do short hand, I can finish pretty quickly. I was minding my own business with the time I had to myself. Then my eyes wandered to my friend Nikki, she saw me and I smiled and she smiled back, then next thing I know, I'm on my way out into the hallway. Ms. Finch had stated that I should pay attention and that my brother would hate receiving a phone call from her. I nodded and said "Yes Ms. Finch, my brother would hate to get a call from you." All I spoke was the truth and here I sit and my brother doesn't look all that pleased from thins angle."

"Is that all?" Ms. Moya asked. Mokuba nodded then snuck another glance at his brother. "Well, this to me seems like a complete waste of time to me and Mr. Kaiba. And now poor Mokuba had to miss the rest of math and his science class, just because you hated the fact that he was minding his own business. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience Mr. Kaiba and my apologies Mokuba." The brunette stood up and nodded to the principal before flashing a death glare to the teacher and storming out of the room to excuse his brother for the rest of the day. It was lunch now and Nikki was waiting for her friend by the office door. He exited with his brother and she called to him.

"Mokuba! Wait, I have your things." The boy and Seto turned. Mokuba ran to her and took his belongings. "I'm sorry about Ms. Finch." He smiled. "I put my math note book in your backpack so you could take down the rest of the notes and do the homework." Nikki smiled brightly. "Thanks." Before Mokuba knew what he was doing he leant forward and placed a chaste kiss on the girl's cheek. Quickly he pulled away and blushed. Nikki giggled and quickly pressed an innocent kiss on his lips before running back into the lunchroom. Mokuba felt his body go completely numb. The boy touched his lips and relaxed into a boyish grin. That one little moment melted away all of Seto's anger and he smiled playfully at his baby brother. Mokuba looked up and blushed a hundred times redder than he already was. The boy felt light headed and his stomach was doing back flips, he felt…odd. The brunette just chuckled, "Come on lover boy, let's go home." The younger Kaiba glared at his brother and followed him out the door.

'Maybe now would be a good time to talk to Seto about all those questions I had. I'm sure he wouldn't mind, especially if it's in my best interest.' Mokuba thought. He contemplated for a bit longer then looked over to the driver. "Nii-sama?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I ask you some questions?" Mokuba said while turning his head to look out the passenger side window. Seto smiled, "Sure kiddo." The raven-haired boy looked at his sibling then took a breath before asking his first question. "When Joey smiles at you…does it feel like your heart skips a beat? Does it give you the sensation that it's melting?" The brunette grinned to himself and nodded, "Yes. When he and I were trying to tell each other that we cared for one another my heart started to beat really fast and when he said those words and hugged me close for the first time, it actually felt like my heart had stopped. I was just so…happy, lack there for a better word."

"Does Joey ever make you feel all lovesick and make you unable to concentrate?" The boy eyed his brother closely. Seto had many answers for this question though a few of them were not appropriate for a middle school student. "He does, there are some situations where the puppy makes it hard for me to concentrate on my work but I won't get into that. As for the love sickness…well, the last time I was really lovesick for him was when he gave birth to Jouneth. I just really wanted to be by his side and just hold him and the baby close. You will get the sensation of being lovesick a lot during your quest for said person's heart. You just desire to be with them." Mokuba smiled impishly, "You're such a sap big brother." The boy kidded. Seto chuckled, "That may be so but in turn I have gained the love of my life, my own family, and soon we will be married."

"Hopeless romantic." The brunette mentally sweat dropped, the pup called him that too. "But, hey whatever works for ya right?" Seto nodded and smiled. "Speaking of first times nii-sama, what was your first kiss like?"

"Uhhh…like kiss…or kiss kiss?" Mokuba arched an eyebrow, clearly not understanding what his brother was asking. "Uhhh…normal kiss opposed to…open mouth."

"Eww…I don't wanna know about that! Well…actually I was sorta wondering about that earlier, what is the point of kissing with a tongue? I mean what does it prove?" Seto couldn't help the blush that crept across his face slowly. He dreaded this day but he feared the day Mokuba would ask about sex. The brunette cleared his throat uncomfortably, "Mokie why don't you look that up on the Internet once we get home okay?"

"Do you mean to tell me that you and Joey do this but you don't know the reason behind it?" The teen felt his blush darken, "Uhhh…well…we have our own reasons." Mokuba eyed his brother, "Would one of those reasons be why Jouneth is here today?" The young CEO wanted to know how and when his innocent little brother got so curious about what he and Joey did together. It really was embarrassing, but it could have been worse, he could have asked about the first time he and Joey slept together. That would have been awkward. The raven-haired Kaiba was mostly quiet for the rest of the ride and Seto was relived to finally pull into his drive way. Mokuba bounded to the front door and disappeared inside. Once Seto entered a very surprised puppy greeted him.

"Well, I didn't expect you both home so early. Did Mokuba have a half day or something?" Joey inquired curiously. Seto approached his lover and swept him into a needy kiss. Mokuba had snuck a glance as his brother kissed the blonde then remembered his latest research project. The brunette pulled away and looked into hazy amber-eyes, "Mmmm, that is exactly what I needed." Joey chuckled and hugged his fiancé close. "Where's Jouneth?"

"He's taking his afternoon nap." Seto pulled away from the welcoming body and lay down on the couch. "Do you need an afternoon nap too Set?" The blonde said with a loving smile. The brunette motioned for the pup to join him.

5:26 pm

Like he had always wanted to do when he became a father, Seto was seated on the couch with his son in his lap reading to him out of his most recent book The Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh. Jouneth loved hearing the voice of his father and enjoyed looking at the colorful pictures in said book. Every once in a while he would squeal or laugh and point at a picture then look up to Seto, who would just smile lovingly back. He babbled as he listened as his teen father went on. Joey had learnt to be more equipped for times like these and was armed with the video camera. Silently he recorded the moment and smiled to himself. Suddenly the front door swung open and in came a hyper Serenity and his father close behind. Jouneth looked up and laughed happily, that was when Seto caught his lover. Joey waved and smiled as the brunette sent him a playful glare. Jack greeted his family and handed the young CEO the mail. The blonde shut off the camera and sat it on top of one of the shelves in the room before taking his spot next to the teen. The baby held out his arms to his mother and was happily seated in said blonde's lap.

"Hmmm, this is an odd looking piece of mail. I don't know a Denzin and Jovana Heathcliff." Joey cocked his head then took the piece of mail. "I dunno. Dad!" The elder Wheeler made himself present. "Do you know who these people are?" The blonde inquired while handing off the sealed envelope. "You mean you don't remember your cousin Jovana?" The amber-eyed teen shook his head and watched as his father opened the envelope and read the included letter. "Why it would seem that your Aunt Tracy has invited us to Jovana's baby shower/ Family Reunion." Joey was confused, "How did Aunt Tracy get our home address?"

"Well, your Aunt Tracy is my sister, I always talk to her. Don't worry, she's the only one who knows it." The blonde winced, "Dad, Seto and I didn't want our address out."

"It's alright pup, just as long as it is shared among family then I don't mind." Seto said with a genuine smile playing on his lips. "This would be a great opportunity to meet more family and introduce Jouneth and Seto to them kiddo." It wasn't much of a bad idea in the blonde's mind, he liked knowing he had more family he give to Seto and their child, though that look on Seto's face…

"What's wrong Set?" The brunette shook his head, "Nothing pup. You're more than welcome to go but I don't think…"

"No, you are going. You need to get to know my family, especially since we're getting married. You need to be part of the family, not the shadow." Joey pleaded to his fiancé. The blue-eyed teen couldn't deprive his pup of anything, if it was a family reunion he had to attend then it was a family reunion he would go to.

Author's Note: So how was chapter 2 for ya? Mokuba was chock full of questions this time around and I think it's only gonna escalate. How will Seto take to meeting his puppy's family? Stick around for next chapter you will find out! Thanks so much for reading and don't forget to review!
